Yeah, but it's not SC'd anymore. Getting ready to go turbo. Probably take it off the road sometime next month for the conversion.

jinxed4dub 01-24-10 01:30 AM

took it to play with other sevens. I think she had a good time.

ArmyOfOne 01-24-10 03:15 AM

Well I cleaned up the garage to make some room for next weeks work. I fixed the GSL-SE oil pan sump. It had been flattened out when the guys at the junkyard pulled the motor. I also cleaned up the oil cooler and found some cracks on the thermostat housing that will need to be repaired before use. While I was at it I started modifying the oil pickup tube with a bell mouth bottom and am looking to modify the oilpan a bit since it will be usede for drag racing. Looking to weld a forward facing vane in there to keep the oil around the pickup during those nice hard launches.

mendozam 01-25-10 07:56 PM

Started sanding down the lips on my wheels so i can re polish them.

13bpower 01-26-10 12:54 AM

Reconnected a wire to the CPU that had been cut to run a turbo timer with the stock alarm. The list of things to fix is down to 9 :o/

installer67 01-26-10 12:59 AM

tried another float adjustment, but idle is still good and blipping the throttle it still bogs and tries to die. Arghhhh!!!!

ckykid02 01-27-10 02:03 AM

finally removed the 2 lower collars on my front coilovers and installed my five mil spacers...
and now my rims arent flush with the added camber. someone find me 15 mil bolt on spacers?

Looks good LOW.... is it riding on bump-stops at this point?

jinxed4dub 01-27-10 07:20 PM

fixed, my shit. no more exhaust leak........ for now....

installer67 01-27-10 10:03 PM

Fuel lines and tank
 
Tonight I crawled under her and dropped the tank, pulled the feed lines and inspected the inside. Found a screen floating around in there that PO must have tried to adapt to the tank. Removed it, plumbed new braided stainless lines blew out feed,vent and rerturn lines and re-connected all. Going back out later to test.:icon_tup:

fayetteshane 01-27-10 10:07 PM

rotary-guy 01-27-10 10:44 PM

told one of them it has till sunday to gimmie some sort of reason to keep it rotary, and then worked on the v8 one

theFBthatcould 01-29-10 03:27 AM

started building my new exhaust well the rear section any ways im designing a quick swap system for the rear option #1 over the Axel to a magnaflow option #2 under the Axel to the magnaflow to see if i like it option #3 under the Axel to a straight pipe with a walmart resonated tip

all in 3 in and for the under the Axel options the 3 in pipe will be kind of smooshed so its oval shaped for clearance reasons and started milling the header flange for my custom header thats about it ill have pics when its done b4 and after

Seattle_mazdaspeeddemon 01-29-10 06:50 AM

Installed my moderized tail lights that I just finished doing and looked at her. Oh and corksport found me two good rotary housings. I'll be reciving my exhaust system from corksport at the rx7 meeting and the housings.

SallBoutzTII 01-29-10 02:03 PM

put a new brake master cylinder in. Now just need to bleed the brakes. She stops much better already and HOLDS pressure :) . . . .

ckykid02 01-29-10 03:23 PM

finally drove it after installing the new lower harness. then it randomly lost spark an hour later. thinking it might be a bad ecu ground. i have the phantom 5 repeating beeps :(

nxtlevelmazda6 01-29-10 08:56 PM

Just bought a new black carpet for my FC and put some parts on craigslist.

BonesZ33 01-29-10 09:29 PM

Parting out my FD, a sad day

jinxed4dub 01-30-10 02:57 AM

got my idle back to about normal. was bouncing at 500 and stalling out when I turned the wheel to fast with the brake on.

rotary-guy 01-30-10 03:50 AM

Haha I could of told you that. One of the guys at the Drift Office in Auburn took his rims off his Gt-R32 and put them on his FC.

Um sat and looked at my FC trying to figure out how in the fuck I install the front Tow Hook. Looks like it might be fabrication time. damnit owell for dirrect bolt on.

ArmyOfOne 01-30-10 10:22 PM

Picked up an FC rad and FC leading coil for the project. Thanks for the Idea Adrian.

installer67 01-30-10 11:10 PM

WingsofWar 01-31-10 01:00 PM

I walked into my garage to get a 7up and noticed..oh i have TII that i havent touched in 2 years because it hasnt ran in awhile. Then I opened the door and sat in the driver seat, and now I am sad because I want it running..like NOW.

Seattle_mazdaspeeddemon 01-31-10 07:41 PM

still trying to figure out how to put the damn tow hook on the front.

installer67 01-31-10 07:52 PM

dug out some stock intake manifolds I had laying around, and cleaned and stripped one, the did the "Naked Nikki" thing and pulled all the emission crap and unnecessary crap off it. Then was going to connect the exhaust and mount everything up, but the heat exchangers/exhaust manifolds I have are too long! Apparently the pre-85 are different, or the one on my 84 wasn't an from an 84. Either way, my "Good feeling" about all the progress I was making kinda fizzled.
